The Tribe

Wowing critics at film festivals the world over, Miroslav Slaboshpytskiy’s The Tribe is a bold piece of filmmaking.

Darkly gripping in its look at teenage gang culture in a school for deaf adolescents, the film unfolds without any spoken dialogue or subtitles, with the youths using sign language to communicate.

The eerie silence not only creates an intense sense of something about to happen but also strips the characters to their rawest emotions.

Post film discussion on Tue 26 May (19.45) with Deaf filmmaker Ted Evans who is coming from London for this screening. He will comment/discuss various issues around the film and talk about his experience as a deaf filmmaker. The discussion will be British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted.
